Autopilot modes
The autopilot has several steering modes. The number of modes
and features within the mode depend on the autopilot computer,
the boat type and available inputs, as explained in the description of
the following steering modes.
Standby mode
Standby mode is used when you steer the boat at the helm. Switch
the autopilot to Standby mode from any operation by selecting the
Standby mode button in the Autopilot controller or using a physical
standby key.
Non-Follow Up (NFU, Power steering)
In NFU mode you use the port and starboard arrow buttons in the
Autopilot controller to control the rudder. The rudder will move as
long as the button is pressed.
• Activate NFU mode by selecting the port or starboard arrow
button in the Autopilot controller when the autopilot is in
Standby or FU mode.
